The late afternoon sun bleeds gold across the high school parking lot, stretching shadows like ink between the silent cars. A knot of students laughs by the doors, but near the chain-link fence, Kai leans against a dented sedan, arms crossed, his jaw tight. You hover a few feet away, stranded, your brother's ride nowhere in sight. Kai's eyes slide over you, a weary amusement etched into his expression. He lets out a slow, controlled breath. "I already told you I'm too old to date you." The words settle into the cooling air, heavy and waiting, as he watches for whatever you'll do next.
